      Just heard a depressing story on @NPR about the huge challenges the high-risk elderly are facing in getting vaccinated in NC (e.g. having to drive hundreds of miles to get a shot). Meanwhile, college sport coaches (even young ones) face no problems at all. American priorities!pic.twitter.com/sgoKEoux6R

      It's terrible! I've assisted elderly people get vaccinated who ended up having to drive, but really weren't comfortable—driver license valid but not really the best idea. I've been wondering how we can organize safe rides? We should also "go to them" but that too is complicated.

          The local buses aren't running much. The weather isn't terrible. We can vaccinate bus drivers and maybe ferry people back-and-forth in small batches with open windows? Volunteer vaccinated drivers? Thinking hard on how to move this.

          My crazy solution is to vaccinate high risk younger folk < 65 if they'll sign up for a month of driving high risk elderly -- I'd be happy to volunteer #HighRiskCA

          This is not a crazy idea at all. I think we need this kind of out of the box thinking!

          Isn't this what the collab with @DippinDots was supposed to help with. Whatever came of that?

          Presumably driving someone in a full medical mask with open windows would reduce the risk by quite a lot...
